Nawien, yes. But as I said, it may take anywhere between 20 to 50 years. There is nothing that I know that violates the law of Physics in low temperature transmutations. Fermi did some of this work in the late thirties. There are a lot of problems with heavier nuclides, but with Deuterium, there is a good chance that in the presence of heavy nuclides, the less likely reaction in free space (two deuterium nuclei fusing to yield an alpha particle) may be dominant, and this reaction does not involve massive amounts of useless radiation and is the richest energy yielding reaction, yet the problem of energy conversion will still be a major barrier, not so much the stability of the fusion reaction process, which right now, is still the major hurdle.
